RTOW stands for Regulated Take Off Weight. Basically, it's the max take off weight arrived at by reference to the performance manual, taking in all the ambient conditions for the runway in use. You're not permitted to release the brakes for takeoff at a weight higher than this. Obviously, if the max permissible structural takeoff weight was less, you'd be limited by that.
